Following the creation of each of the first two albums there was additional roleplay touring those albums. This generated a bunch of additional materials including songs that never made it to either album. I've compiled a selection of those tracks to a "live" album. Thirteen new songs including the thankyou new year message from a couple if weeks ago
 
 . A wide range of tracks on this. A couple the Aussies might relate to. One soft ballad about a weekend bbq at their nsw home wolf haven(wolf haven Sunday), one about skinny dipping in the creek at the back of the farm(Skinny dip serenade), and one about a roadtrip up the east coast from Batemans bay to Townsville (Lunar Howl on the Highway). I left a track off that was called Democracy Sausage but I'll probably stick it up somewhere. Also songs about standing up against the rise of fascism(Rise like thunder), the moment you stop running and stand your ground again at abuse(stand your ground), the exhaustion if dealing with seemingly endless extreme weather events(Eye of the quiet storm) and those who have your back when the chips fall (Fangs at my back), plus one the girls wrote when Spirit commented I didn't sound like myself and I replied I was tired, feeling the approach of three years fighting cancer. They responded with "Howl for you" which was a bit special.
 
The new album is attached here, as I did previously on Howl against the chains with the first two albums for you to enjoy. THe mp3s are not needed for the game as the oggs are embedded. However the mp3s have been popular with the previous releases so I included them again.
 
Some have asked for more details in the backstory for these girls, so here it is:
 
Spirit was born in Abilene, Texas in 2001. She fled an abusive home as a child and wandered all over the Continental US, surviving however she could, soon finding that she could earn meals from small taverns and the like by singing.
 
As a teen she found Shadow, who was living wild in the woods of Maine. They became like the sisters they had never had, and continued travelling together, eventually crossing onto Canada where they found Luna playing drums for meals and a bed in a small jazz club in montreal. 
 
This is where Lunar Howl was born, but they knew the pack was incomplete. They combed message boards looking for the fourth member of the band, and found talk of a girl like themselves who had escaped from Yakuza in Japan. The three sold all their possessions and purchased tickets to Tokyo, where they found Sakura in a safe house.
 
From Japan, they travelled south, knowing none had found home as yet. They entered Australia, and fell in love with the country. They soon sought citizenship, and over several years the four of them achieved that goal, adopting Australia as their home. 
They travelled the country performing, and honing their art.
 
It was in this phase that the original chatroom roleplay commenced, when their vehicle crashed on the boundary of the farm that then became their home, and was renamed Wolf Haven, the name of the first album from the first game.
